I understand your frustration but we have only ourselves to blame. We tend to look at the price tag rather than the "made in" tag, thus with two items being equal, we go with the cheaper one. We Americans want what we can get best for our dollar.

I for one can tell you that going over seas means big profit. I work for a rather large comany that was ready to manufacture in China, but when it came down to the non-disclosure agreement on the process the Chinese government made it clear that they would retain the rights to reproduce our process, the deal was off and jobs stayed in the USA.
